repeated Idont believe he has ever made a splitter As he has nothing to put intostocks how in thunder can he get anything out of themBut I havealways understood Jonesto be rather a heavy dealer the lawyer saidHeavy dealer be hanged Jones replied He stands before the bulletinboards in front of the offices of thebrokers and blows by the hour aboutthe good turns he has just made Nevera stock goes

sezedupon a bronze gladiator and whirled itabout his head yelling Now Illfetch youAt sight of a missile so formidableJones made a sudden plunge under thetable probably with the intention ofgrasping Smith by the legs and landing him uion his back Smith however saw the dodge just as he was inthe act of tiring away with the gladiator and reserving his ammunitionstooped beneath the table to whackJoness head with it Pinding thatthere was not room in which tohis weapon Smith contented himselfby trying to punch it into Joness faceand eyes bmith soon caused a freeflow of claret from Jones no
